I’ve been trying to find a linux programming similar to Rufus to flash images of OSes on a thumb drive.

Nothing from the listicles on the internet or the programs in flatpak have worked for me as well as Rufus on Windows.

What have you used that’s worked well? Or, could I run Rufus on my linux machine with WINE?

    I could never get Ventoy to work. From Windows ISO’s to several versions of Linux, it never got detected as a bootable drive. YMMV

    I like the idea, but it would be great if it was more compatible with different setups.

      Your machine is UEFI, which means your usb stick must be formatted in gpt. Ventoy defaults to mbr which means lagacy bios. It is just 3 mouse click setup.

      Try again. Because it is the best method. I just updated 2,5 years old Ventoy stick without any issues without re-formatting.

        Hey, thanks! I’ll give that a try. I really like the idea of having a one stick to rule them all, so hopefully that works
